Jocelyn Sze shares about our work with Brigadier-General (NS) Tan Chuan-Jin, Minister of State (MOS) for National Development and Manpower. He is the Guest of Honour at the Biodiversity of Singapore Symposium III.

How nice to be able to share what we do with the more than 300 people who attended the Symposium!

Sea grasses store 10 to 40 times as much carbon per hectare as forests, and Australia's sea-grass meadows are the largest in the world.
The report, however, also noted that 29% of the world's sea grass beds had vanished since 1879. In Western Australia, about 1,000 hectares of sea grass were lost after a particularly warm summer.

Why watch seagrasses?!

It MAY seem dead boring to literally watch grass grow. But when it's seagrasses it can get really wild and wacky! Here's the adventures of a team of volunteers keeping a watch on Singapore's amazing marine meadows. As well as seagrassy news. More about Singapore's seagrasses and how to join the Team!
